Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To change to isometric view use the viewIsometric method of the ActiveView object. This method is not available if FreeCAD is in console mode.

import FreeCADGui

FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.viewIsometric()
FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getViewDirection()
